A member asked:
Can my acne become resistant to clindamycin phosphate? if so, is it preventable?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes and no: The bacteria that cause acne remain sensitive, but the Clindamycin doesn't actually kill them and may not be sufficient if your acne becomes more severe. You have many other options.
